The power of self love. It can change your mood to bliss, gratitude, and joyfulness. With it, you have the ability to love others fully. With it, you feel content, perfect, and as though you exist in total harmony with your space.

Self love is a state of appreciation for oneself. 

Self love grows from the actions we take to support our mind, body and spirit and as such, the practice of self love is about taking actions that promote a sense of love that radiates from within you to everything around you.

These actions become habits of self love that often involve saying affirmations, creating vision boards and doing nice things for yourself.

The part of loving the self by doing nice things for yourself can involve giving gifts... to you. 

Giving to the self does not need to cost much, it just needs to bring you a sense of joy.

So, below I want to share ten self love gift ideas you can give to yourself that cost less than $10:

1 - Beauty item

These items can brighten the mood and lift the heart. 

2 - Nice coffee or tea

A pour over coffee or a unique white tea, can warm the heart and soul. 

This coffee shop in my neck of the woods offers both in a gorgeous, inspiring environment, with exotic birds that greet you as you enter.

3 - New plant

A new annual plant often costs less than $9 USD. 

4 - Walk in the woods

Do you have a local trail? Depending on how close it is, all it may cost you to use it is your time and your taxes to maintain it. 

Since you may already be paying for this resource with your local taxes, take advantage. The best time to go in the woods is whenever you can go, and during the golden hour.

5 - Burn some incense you already have

Or diffuse the essential oils you keep in your drawer.

When you use only a stick or a few drops, you are maximizing your resources which can create a sense of satisfaction and experiencing pleasure with something that you pre-purchased to do just that.

6 - Put on a favorite outfit

Getting dressed in itself is an act of love because what you wear can give you feelings of confidence, comfort and joy. 

You only need one good outfit - put on one that gives you great feelings.

7 - Take one mini-item from your to-do list and get it ta-done

It could be organizing your notes, or putting away some things you have cluttering a table, or putting into a bag and loading in your car some things you have stacked by the door to take to the thrift store.

What’s the next pending task? Can you do it? Make sure to remove it from your to-do notes when completed.

8 - Put on your favorite music

If you have a song you committed to memory because you love it so much, access to an internet connection, or on-demand radio, take a moment to replay it now. 

Consider building a playlist along the lines of this song to refer back to or commit to memory, and call it up whenever you want to feel love.

9 - Cook a meal

Even if you aren’t in the mood to cook food when you start, as you chop the vegetables and add the spices, the aromatics of it all can put you in the mood. 

Having a snack and filling your belly is an act of self love, as it is a self preserving act. Eating the food you make is also very grounding, and it can provide a sense of contentment almost immediately.

10 - Say no to something 

Maybe it doesn’t align with your current goals or values. Maybe saying yes would create more issues. Whatever it is, if it feels like a no, just say it.

Being honest with yourself and others is an act of self love that also communicates to others more information on how to love you, and how not to right now, which creates stronger loving relationships, too.

There are many gifts we can give ourselves to enhance our self appreciation, or state of self love, these are just a few.
